I was very curious about the sexual stimulants Thor and Valkiria from Nuei Cosmetics: so, when I found them both in a press kit that the Spanish company kindly sent me, I was over the moon to get the opportunity to test them with my partner!
The packaging
Both the products came in a cardboard box: the Valkiria's one is white, while the Thor's one is coloured in a deep shade of red.
We loved the elegance of the packaging: it's perfect to give the products as a gift in our opinion!
From the definition of the Thor as a 'Gel de Fuego', we could immediately understand that it's a warming product, while from the Valkiria, presented as a 'Gel Sensación Intensa', we were expecting a tingling and intensifying effect.
On the back of the boxes we could clearly read the PAO of the two cosmetics (12 months after opening for both products), while the INCI was written on the side.
Inside, we found the two stimulating gels packed in 40ml flip-top tubes: they were both protected by a tinfoil seal.
The INCI
Valkiria's ingredients: Aqua/Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Arginine, Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract/Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Turnera Diffusa Extract/Turnera Diffusa Leaf Extract, Lepidium Meyenii Root Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract/Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Caffeine, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil/Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sodium Saccharin, Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Ascorbyl Palmitate, BHT, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Parfum/Fragrance, Limonene, Linalool, CI 17200.
What a symphony of stimulating ingredients! Maca (Lepidium Meyenii Root Extract) and Damiana (Turnera Diffusa Extract/Turnera Diffusa Leaf Extract) are well-known for their beneficial effects on the female libido and the male sexual performance: my partner and I have seen them before in many herbal supplements for sexual wellness, but never in a stimulating gel!
Obviously, Nuei Cosmetics' research about the best botanical ingredients to make our sex lives happier, has shown that Maca and Damiana are great for topical use too!
Arginine makes your intimate parts more receptive to stimulation and therefore increases the chance to reach an orgasm: it has several benefits on men's erections too.
Caffeine acts in a similar way, by improving your blood flow where you want it the most.
Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract provides a tingling effect, while Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice are soothing and moisturizing agents.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract has antibacterial properties, and it helps improving the blood flow with a stimulating effect.
Glycerin and Sodium Saccharin are very common in sex essentials: the first ingredient is a sugar alcohol with soothing and moisturizing properties, used in many water-based lubricants; while the second is an artificial sweetener that helps improve the flavour of the product, in case it comes in contact with the mouth in the heat of the moment. But they may trigger yeast infections in predisposed women!
Thor's Ingredients: Aqua/Water, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil/Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Menthyl Lactate, Aroma/Flavor, Persea Gratissima Oil/Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Capsicum Frutescens Fruit Extract, Turnera Diffusa Leaf Extract, Lepidium Meyenii Root Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract/Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Saccharin, Arginine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Benzoate, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Dehydroacetate, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, BHT.
Here the extracts from Maca, Damiana, Rosemary and the Arginine keep working their stimulating magic, but peppermint is replaced by Capsicum Frutescens Fruit Extract, or chili pepper, with its strong tingling and warming effect on the skin.
Same as above for Glycerin and Sodium Saccharin, while the moisturizing and nourishing effect is entrusted to Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil.
In both products I can see artificial preservatives and emulsifying agents, but they're free from parabens and from animal-derived ingredients.
The products
The first thing we noticed about the Valkiria is its delicious peppermint scent: yum!
It looks clear and has a gel-like lightweight consistency: it didn't feel sticky on our hands.
A few seconds after the application, we definitely started to feel a strong, pleasant tingling sensation, along with a mild cooling effect: needless to say, we were truly surprised at the strength of this product!
While trying the Thor, instead, we just smelled a light bubblegum scent: it has a thicker consistency than the Valkiria and it looks white-ish, but we found that it feels very lightweight on the skin.
It felt like spreading actual chili pepper on our genitals, minus the burning part: it didn't only feel warming, but tingling and prickling too!
At this point we were a complete mess of warming and cooling sensations on all our erogenous zones, and that strong tingling sensation seemed to awaken all our senses, intensifying even the lightest touch from our feater tickler. One thing is sure: we both had incredible body-shattering orgasms!
After testing both the Valkiria and the Thor for the first time, we kept on using them in combination: we love to mix cooling and warming sensations during our sensual massage sessions, and looks like one product complements the other, creating an even stronger stimulating effect.
In Summary
The Nuei Cosmetics Thor and Valkiria are among the strongest stimulating gels we had tried before. We are amazed at the variety of sensations they can produce thanks to selected botanical ingredients, and we had great fun mixing them on our bodies to create our personalized orgasmic recipe.
We will buy them both again as soon as we run out!

We got the Thor and Valkiria free of charge from Nuei Cosmetics in exchange for our honest review. Thanks Nuei, it's a pleasure to collaborate with your company. Unaffiliated post.
